jackson body

[JacksonRR]

Hello here..
I have one qustion about body of Jackson guitars.
I am check a catalog and some times Jackson has poplar body some times is alder...
So, only USA Jackson guitars have alder body or it's depending of year or something else?
Thank you.

Depends on the year. A lot of older models had poplar. Alder and poplar are pretty similar in tone, in my opinion.

JacksonRR, I sent you a PM a couple of weeks ago about the Performer series catalog scans you wanted. I don't have your email, so get back to me if you still want them.

It's not similar tone but... this is another thread
Jackson have made poplar bady befor 99 year.
Soloist ,RR, Dinky and other series come with poplar bady, also JacksonStars, Grover Jackson guitars too.
Begin from 1999, Jackson release all Usa series with alder body.( I am don't tell about SLAQTH, SLS, SL2H-Mah)
Interesting know WHY they did that?
Thx.
